Thanks to Westwood Community Chest for sharing this news with Westwood Minute.
On Sunday night, December 8th, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., participants in Westwood Community Chest's third annual Luminary Night will help to set the town aglow, as they place paper bags containing battery operated tea lights along sidewalks, fences, doorsteps and outside homes, in support of the organization's efforts to raise funds for grants to assist Westwood residents in need.
Last year, WCC provided over $140,000 in emergency funding to grant applicants. WCC grants have aided the elderly, individuals and families alike, in times of job loss or other financial crisis. Children are also supported by WCC campership grants which help make safe summer activities more affordable.
Anyone can participate in Sunday's Luminary Night by purchasing a $20 luminary kit from the following locations: Décor & More, The Bean Farm, Neroli Mercato, and the WCC website.
The rain date for Luminary Night is Sunday, December 15, 2024.
Sunny, with a high of 77 and low of 65 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Sunny in the morning, moderate rain at times during the afternoon, mist in the evening, clear overnight.
We used to spray our lawn with a company that said they used non-toxic chemicals. The loss of bees, frogs, pollinators and birds in our garden was dramatic.
Great topic! I'd love to see more from the environmental action committee on encouraging less use of pesticides/weed killers/fertilizers in town.
what a great way to encourage people to plant native, it gives me so much pleasure to see who is visiting my plants.
Good (majority) call by the Select Board. Appropriate time to bring in outside, impartial, leadership to the Department.
